When you sign this document, you accept the conditions and terms set forth within. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (hereinafter, UNC Charlotte or the University ) provides available housing accommodations to eligible applicants regardless of race, age, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or physical disability. Wheelchair accessible housing is available as detailed below. To comply with federal and state laws, the Department of Housing and Residence Life may house assistance animals in its residential building (or halls). If you are allergic to animals or have another medical condition that restricts you from cohabiting with animals, we request that you register with the Office of Disability Services to prevent a room assignment with or near a service animal. This Contract for Residential Services (hereinafter, the Contract ) sets forth rights and responsibilities of the student and UNC Charlotte in connection with housing, dining, cable television, and Internet access. The Contract is for the 2017 Summer application periods (comprised of 1 st and/or 2 nd Term, as appropriate) and is between UNC Charlotte and the student whose name appears on the written or electronically submitted Application for Housing (hereinafter, the Application ). If the Application was submitted online and the applicant is under the age of 18, the Parent/Guardian Co-Signature Form must be electronically signed and returned in order to complete the application process. As referenced in the balance of this document, a "Completed Housing Application" consists of: a complete written or electronically submitted Application for Housing form; the payment of a deposit (U.S. funds only); and, if applying online AND under the age of 18, a completed Parent/Guardian Co-Signature Form.

2 Please be aware of the following information as you apply for these services. Freshman Applicants Newly entering freshmen are not eligible for summer housing unless they are registered for summer classes. Roommate Requests Insofar as possible and as space permits, every effort is made to honor requests for a specific housing assignment and/or mutual roommate requests. Roommate requests must be mutual and all roommates must have Completed Housing Applications on file at the time the housing assignment is made. If you are submitting a roommate request using the paper based Application, you must include the correct UNC Charlotte Student Identification Number(s) and name(s) in the spaces provided. If you are submitting a roommate request via the online Application, you must enter the correct UNC Charlotte Student Identification Number(s) on the roommate matching screen. The University will not accommodate roommate requests based upon a preference of a certain race, age, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, or disability. Application Timeline and Waiting List Students who apply for housing after all available spaces have been filled will be placed on a waiting list according to the date the Completed Housing Application was received by the Department of Housing and Residence Life. As summer accommodations are limited in number, the University cannot guarantee housing availability. Physically Disabled Students The University has housing facilities designed specifically for wheelchair users. Students utilizing wheelchairs who receive housing space confirmation have priority in assignment to those wheelchairaccessible facilities as long as such space is available. It is extremely important that the Completed Housing Application be received by the general priority deadline so that this priority can be exercised. Students who utilize a wheelchair will be considered for priority status on the basis of: 1. The date the Completed Housing Application was received by the Department of Housing and Residence Life; and 2. The degree of utilization of wheelchair-equipped facilities as compared to the proportion of wheelchair users who apply. In order to be assigned to a wheelchair-accessible housing space, documentation regarding the disability and special need for accommodations must be submitted to the Office of Disability Services. Such documentation must be submitted to the Office of Disability Services prior to or at the same time that the Application is submitted to the Department of Housing and Residence Life. In order to receive priority status for the 1 st Summer Term, all documentation must be received by April 14, Students who have received 1 st Summer Term wheelchair-accessible housing space shall have priority for the 2 nd Summer Term. The availability of wheelchair-accessible housing for applicants applying only for 2 nd Summer Term cannot be guaranteed; availability depends on whether cancellations for such units are received for the 2 nd Summer Term. Documentation regarding the disability and special need for accommodations must be submitted to the Office of Disability Services for 2 nd Summer Term housing in order for the assignment to be made.

3 The University does not provide personal attendant care or personally prescribed devices for students with disabilities. Personal attendants are not permitted to access University-operated housing except as set forth in the Resident Handbook s policies regarding guests, unless the student has made the necessary arrangements with Housing and Residence Life and provides the necessary documentation. Arrangements for the provision of attendants are entirely the responsibility of the individual student and should be established well in advance of the time such services are to begin. If the student has provided documentation to the Office of Disability Services that a personal attendant is necessary for the student such that the personal attendant will need access to University-operated housing, then the student must provide adequate certification as required by the University regarding the attendant's background, including, but not limited to criminal background checks as set forth by the University. Such documentation should be provided to the Department of Housing and Residence Life by April 14, 2017 for 1 st Summer Term and by May 30, 2017 for 2 nd Summer Term. If the student is unable to provide such documentation by those dates, the student should contact the Department of Housing and Residence Life to ask for an extension. Forms for providing this attendant background information may be downloaded from the Department's website (housing.uncc.edu). Failure to provide such certification and to update the certification within twenty-four (24) hours of the assignment of a new personal attendant will result in the University's inability to permit the attendant to have access to residential space and will constitute a breach of this agreement which could result in cancellation of the student s Contract. A list of local agencies that provide personal attendants can be found on the Office of Disability Services website at: ds.uncc.edu. Questions Should you have additional questions about on-campus housing at UNC Charlotte, please contact the Department of Housing and Residence Life at You may also reach the Department by fax at , by at HRLMailbox@uncc.edu, or by visiting our website at housing.uncc.edu. Information of a personal or confidential nature should never be sent via . Page 3

4 Part II. Terms and Condition of the 2017 Contract A. Introduction. This Contract sets forth specific rights and obligations related to student residence at UNC Charlotte. The student and UNC Charlotte recognize and agree that Housing and Residence Life is one aspect of a larger set of relationships between student and University. The student agrees to abide by all University policies, regulations, and administrative requirements as a condition of retaining the right to reside on campus. The University reserves the right, through appropriate authorities, to change its policies as necessary to maximize achievement of University goals. B. Eligibility. This Contract grants a license for secondary temporary use of campus residence facilities and services by the student in connection with the pursuit of a university education and confers no residence rights on any person who is not a student in good standing at UNC Charlotte. Only those students who are registered for summer classes at UNC Charlotte or were enrolled at UNC Charlotte in the Spring 2017 semester and are registered for class in the Fall 2017 semester are eligible to obtain the license conferred by the Contract. C. Applicability. The requirements of this Contract apply to all students, regardless of the type of housing supplied (tower room, suite, apartment, or Greek Village room). The Contract obligates the student to pay full charges for residential services for the contract period (or for the remainder of the contract period if the Contract is entered into after the start of the contract period) unless the Contract is cancelled in accordance with paragraph U. D. Duration of Contract. This Contract becomes effective after the Completed Housing Application is received by the Department of Housing and Residence Life. For the purposes of this Contract, a signed contract is created when a paper Application is submitted containing either the student s or guarantor s written signature in the correct space. Online Applications are governed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("E-Sign") (15 U.S.C. 7001). Under the provisions of E-Sign, students (over the age of 18) may digitally sign their Contract for Residential Services with the Department of Housing and Residence Life. The digital signature is applied when a student logs into the housing application and accepts the terms and conditions of the contract. The Contract is for two academic periods (1 st Summer Term and/or 2 nd Summer Term, as applicable) and expires at 12:00 noon on the day after the student s last final exam for the relevant Summer Term. The student agrees to pay $ for each day or part of day in residence beyond that date as outlined in paragraph S. E. Entire Agreement Modification. The terms and conditions set forth in this Contract shall constitute the entire agreement between UNC Charlotte and the student with respect to residential services. This Contract may not be modified except in writing by the Associate Vice Chancellor and Director of Housing and Residence Life. Should this agreement be modified by the Associate Vice Chancellor and Director of Housing and Residence Life, applicants will be notified of changes via the UNC Charlotte student account. The Department will post all changes in addendum form to the Housing and Residence Life website at: housing.uncc.edu. No other notification will be provided. Page 4

5 F. Period of Occupancy. UNC Charlotte will provide campus housing for the Summer Term(s) indicated (or the balance there of) to the student whose signature appears on the Completed Housing Application. The period of occupancy for the 1 st Summer Term begins on Sunday, May 21, 2017 and ends on Thursday, June 29, The period of occupancy for the 2 nd Summer Term begins on Sunday, July 2, 2017 and ends on Friday, August 11, Students who have contracted for both terms may stay in their assigned space during the period between the two terms (June 29, 2017 through July 2, 2017). Students assigned to Fall 2017 campus housing will be able to stay on campus until the beginning of the Fall semester; students must move to their Fall 2017 assignment when asked to do so by the Department of Housing and Residence Life. All dates listed within this Contract are applicable to the academic calendar as approved by the Executive Staff. If the academic calendar is revised after the release of this Contract, the Associate Vice Chancellor and Director of Housing and Residence Life may adjust the dates of occupancy and will communicate any changes by addendum which will be posted on the Department s website at housing.uncc.edu. G. Assignment Control. The University's agreement is to provide residential services in University housing, but not a particular room, suite, or apartment, and the University reserves the exclusive right to determine the particular space to which the student is assigned. The student is not permitted to assign or exchange space assignment given by the University, nor to assign any other right created by this Contract to any other person or organization. To avoid vacancies resulting from late cancellation of this Contract by students, the University reserves the right to contract for housing with a slightly larger number of students than it has regular housing spaces available. Such overbooking may require that one extra student will be assigned to a room, suite, or apartment not normally intended for occupancy by the extra student; or that students may be temporarily placed in a Resident Advisor (student staff) unit. These assignments are intended to be temporary. The University will reassign the extra students to regular housing assignments as vacancies occur due to normal attrition. The student understands and specifically agrees that the University may, in its sole discretion, make such arrangements for a period not to exceed one term and that such housing arrangements fulfill the University's obligation to provide housing accommodations under this Contract. Residents in Greek Village, or other lifestyle areas may be required to sign a contract addendum specifying terms and conditions for program participation. Residents who fail to abide by the terms of the addendum, are removed from the program by program administrators, or voluntarily withdraw from the program may be required to relocate from their current assignment to another housing assignment as determined by the University. H. Maintaining Eligibility. The student s residence rights under this Contract may be lost due to failure to meet academic requirements, the imposition of disciplinary sanctions, or cancellation of the Contract by the University after the student s breach of contract. If the student is academically suspended, the student's Contract is immediately cancelled. If the suspended student submits an academically-based appeal and it is granted, the student is once again eligible to initiate a request for housing through submission of a Completed Housing Application. The University's ability to honor the request is based on availability of space. No refund of housing charges will be made to the student if the student is dismissed for disciplinary action or breach of contract (see paragraph T). The University reserves the right to exclude immediately, without prior notice, any student whose continued residence presents a substantial risk to the safety or health of self or other residents, or presents a reasonable likelihood of imminent substantial disruption of normal residential activities. Page 5

6 I. Housing Deposit and Payment of Residential Services Charges. A deposit of $50.00 (U.S.) per term is required and due in full with each Application submitted. The deposit is NOT applied toward payment of fees. It is refunded only after the student has left the Housing and Residence Life system and only if the student has met all financial obligations to the University. The student agrees to pay all semester charges for residential services when billed. Checks should be made payable to UNC Charlotte. An installment payment plan may be available through the Office of Student Accounts, which can be reached at: Note: If any Financial Aid has been awarded to the student it will automatically be applied toward the student s account balance, including residential charges.

J. Limitation on University Liability. UNC Charlotte shall have no responsibility for loss of, or damage to, student s personal property anywhere in the residential facilities, whether by fire, theft, or otherwise, or for direct or consequential damages arising from loss of, or any interruption of, any utility service provided by UNC Charlotte or any other person or organization in connection with residence services. The student assumes all risk of all such loss. Insurance against such loss is the student s responsibility; a parent s homeowner s or renter s insurance policy may provide coverage. A supplemental renter s insurance policy covering campus residence is strongly recommended. K. Room Entry by University Officials. The student agrees that University officials may enter the student s room during the period of occupancy in accord with the University s Administrative Room Entry and Search Procedures, available in the offices of the Department of Housing and Residence Life. Note: Authorized University personnel or agents may enter students' apartments, suites, or rooms without student consent to respond to emergency situations, to halt the disruption of university operations, to conduct general and routine inspections for health, safety, and building maintenance purposes, and/or to carry out necessary cleaning, maintenance, or repair of the building, utilities, cable and/or Internet services.
